Plus, in the rear spoiler segment, the boys explore the season premiere of Lost, and the ongoing adventures of Jack Bauer and company.

And now you can enjoy the madness all week long on the new Filibuster Facebook page.

Dave, Jon, and Erich convene for what may or may not be the actual 50th episode (either way, we'll celebrate the milestone next week) by eagerly anticipating Dante's Inferno, giving the Wii some hard-hitting love in the form of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and heaping more praise on both games in the Mass Effect series. Are you tired of hearing us talk about Batman: Arkham Asylum? Good news: Erich finally finished it. Bad news: he talks about it one last time. To finish, this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum takes us all around the world, from London to the Bay.

Dave, Tim, and Erich do their best to alienate listeners, with musings on the religious implications of recent games, the tail-end of the NFL season, and NBA Jam tournament memories. The boys make up for it, though, with another 40 minutes of video game talk. Tim still loves Modern Warfare 2, Dave sings the praises of Darksiders, Erich learns a valuable lesson about his gaming tastes thanks to Batman: Arkham Asylum, and should difficulty count in review scores?

It's time to Couche diem. Join Kent and Michelle for a half hour of marital bliss, as they look back on the last decade in film, entertainment news, and milestones in their own lives.

This week, Clark continues counting down the very best film music of 2009, from #15 to #11. Using his unique brand of eccentric math, Clark manages to fit seven scores by four composers into those five slots, but that's forgivable given that the music is insanely good. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some terrific music courtesy of Carter Burwell, Alexandre Desplat, Randy Newman and Christopher Young. In addition, Clark offers his less than glowing review of Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones.

Jon and Steve join Erich for a gamestravaganza of epic-ish proportions! There is praise-singing for Darksiders and Bayonetta, admiration for Army of Two: the 40th Day, and iPhone game recommendations by Steve (yes... Steve). In other news, Jon digs into Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Erich can't stop talking about Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (though he does so long enough to give his long overdue impressions of Batman: Arkham Asylum), and Steve talks about going to the coolest high school... ever. Keeping with the awkward teen theme, the crew wraps things up with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum: The Ideal Video Game Prom Date.

In addition, you'll hear Clark's review of the new James Cameron blockbuster Avatar. Enjoy!

Dave, Mac, and Mike get their generic holiday yuletide cheer on by reviewing 9 (the animated one, not the Fellini homage), District 9, and the incredibly misleading Captive; reveling in the joy of Resident Evil 5, Pittsburgh sports, Steven Seagal does Cops, MA-residents get a Terry Gilliam marathon, character-inspired Christmas trees, and a friendly game of Avatar bingo. Print your game card and take it with you to the theater!

The Pixel Verdict boys talk a lot about a few games this week. Steve weighs in on the video game version of James Cameron's Avatar. Does he really say it's better than Modern Warfare 2? You'll have to listen to find out.

Erich, Jon, and a distant-sounding Dave talk about games they've played, games they want to play, and games no one's actually played yet.
